 Start with G -   8 Flowers Names and Types with Pictures

 

Gaillardia

Gaillardia also goes by the name Indian Blanket. This plant is a wildflower found throughout areas of the United States, including Virginia and Arizona.

It is a red or yellow plant with bicolor features and generally a darker center. It needs full sunlight but will bloom from June until the first frosts of fall.

Gardenia

Gardenias are a popular flower. They have white or ivory flowers that bloom seasonally. They were natively from China and Japan.

These plants are considered a broadleaf evergreen, and they need partial shade. The flowers are prized because they are fragrant and showy, and when cut, they make an excellent cut flower for your display.

Gazania

The Gazania plant is often brightly colored plant. You may find it in colors such as red to pastel pink. The flowers have an eye that is a contrasting color.

Gazania flowers bloom throughout the summer, but the flowers do not do well as a cut flower. They need direct and “roasting” sunlight to reliably open.

Geranium


The Geranium is also known as the cranesbill plant. This flower is a hardy perennial that tends to flower for a long period of time.

Dwarf species may be 6 inches tall, while other geraniums get to be around 39 inches tall. Flowers may develop in a variety of shades, including violet, pink, and rose.

Gerbera Flower

Gerbera Flowers are also referred to as transvaal daisies. These plants are seasonal bloomers, and the blooms are red, yellow, or orange, with a bronze-yellow disc in the center of the bloom.

From Southern Africa, these plants do well in full sun to medium shade and are considered pretty low maintenance.

Gladiolas

The Gladiolas (or Gladiolus) commonly cultivated came from South Africa, although other species and cultivars come from the Mediterranean regions and western Asia.

There are around 300 species, but most modern ones grown are hybrids. You can find them in just about any color from pink to yellow to green, and many are bicolored.

Goldenrod


Solidago or Goldenrod is a plant that can form large colonies of these bright yellow flowers. The plants come in different heights, which may make a difference in your garden.

They need full sunlight to grow well, so the gardens that you plant them in should not have shade over the areas you want your Goldenrods to grow.

Grape Hyacinth


The Muscari or Grape Hyacinth is an easy to grow plant that features blue flowers. Some like the Plumosum variety are feathery.

Some even have pale blue flowers at the top of the spike and dark blue at the bottom, providing a lovely contrast in your garden. These plants grow from bulbs, which should be divided every 4 to 5 years.

Guzmania


The Guzmania species are a large group of plants with only a few terrestrial species. The plants have beautiful rosettes that have satiny foliage.

Many modern examples have been hybridized with vrieseas. Plants may grow to be more than three feet wide, and leaves may be green or have patterns like stripes.

  130-million-year-old flower bud found in China could solve Charles Darwin's 'abominable mystery' The ancient plant, named Florigerminis jurassica, is described has having woody branches with nodes, an area on the stem where buds are located, physically connected fruit and a flower bud that ends on the branch.      English naturalist Charles Darwin and the world's oldest fossilised flower found in China.  English naturalist Charles Darwin--best known for his work on the evolution of science--had one 'abominable mystery' when it came to deciphering the evolution of flowering plants. A recent discovery of a 130-million-year-old fossilized flower bud found in China may, however, solve this mystery. The fossil includes a leafy branch, physically connected fruit and flower bud, which suggests angiosperms (plants that has flowers and produces seed) were present in the Jurassic period (201.3 million to 145 million years ago). This specimen, which i...

B Sridhar, horticulturist and curator of the show, says the plants are chosen for their height and colour to befit the design of the floral tribute. “We add microbial culture to make the process organic. This makes the plants look brighter and express their real colour,” he explains. Sridhar and his team of 10 have been growing these plants since last October, staggering them as per their flowering cycle, w...
